Pros

You can't beat the benefits. I left PMI with mixed emotions. I worked with many good, hard-working people who became my friends.

Cons

Management creates a culture of fear through politics, favoritism and inconsistency in performance expectations. Supervisors are way more worried about what their boss will think than doing the right thing. As others have said, lots of firing; many for unjust reasons. Going to HR is worthless. Stakeholders are not treated fairly. Each service center and PMI department make their own exceptions to rules and PMI policies. Lack of communication between departments is inexcusable.

Pros

Most employees are wonderful, dedicated, kind, caring, loyal and great to work with. Benefits and hours are the best around. The PMI membership has some very talented and experienced volunteers that are not fully appreciated by management.

Cons

Continual, huge turnover since CEO Langley took office. Management is hyper sensitive, nervous, political, very policy heavy and micro managed. Management don't follow the work-life balance or company values they spend a lot of time creating. HR is so wrapped up in enforcing large company corporate policies they've forgotten PMI is a small company and listen to the employees, not only management.

Pros

I really enjoyed my time at PMI. The employees are great and fun to work with. The pay is decent. The benefits are outstanding.

Cons

HR & management seem to be wrapped up in being politically correct in all aspects. They need to loosen up and relax a little.
